The single is unapologetic and Emei’s vocals are filled with anger and frustration. “What’s The Point?” is a crash out song because when emotions start to unravel and causes an emotional instability especially after losing someone you held close; it can cause a disruption in your brain chemistry.

For the announcement of Night At The Opera; Emei announced she will be holding two intimate headline shows at The Slipper Room in New York on June 10 and Troubadour in Los Angeles on June 12. Emei also announced her 18-date North American fall headline Night At The Opera Tour, kicking off September 30 in San Francisco

“I’m usually a very cheery person, but after losing my grandma last year, it felt like this blanket of darkness fell on me and I couldn’t see a way out. When I walked into the studio with Ricky and Justin the day we wrote this song, I burst into tears 15 minutes in, in utter frustration and this is what we made. ‘What’s the Point!’ captured the anger I felt in my grief. I felt so unprepared for these feelings and so upset that nobody told me it would feel like this. I kept writing in my journal that I didn’t understand the point of getting close to anyone if I have to deal with the grief of losing them and not only did I lose her, but I lost a lot of important people in my life during this time period. This song is the crash out that followed a big year of a whole lot of loss.”Emei
